Hi there,
i'm wondering if someone may be able to help me. We have had a few problems in Cornwall with a character who claims to be an ex officer in the 16/5th Lancers. He claims he was wounded in the Falklands War, but i have a photo of him in 1982 when he was a WO in the RAF Reserve as an Air Training Corps instructor. I am hoping someone will be able to dip into his service records. If he did serve i am certain he was never commisioned. If you can help please send me a message an i'll give you his details.
Thanks

Claims the photo is him after he left the army!!! (ex commissioned army officers don't go into RAF VR as WO's) i know the 16/5th didn't go to the Falklands, he also claims to be ex SAS, ex AAC Pilot, ex armoured Para??? The list goes on. The main thing here is to discover the actual service record if any, and expose the commission fraud. Nowt hurts more than evidence

You are very very wrong on that one. Battery acid in the eyeballs hurst a whole lot more. And anyone starting a walt hunt on their fiirst post deserves battery acid in thier children's eyes, let alone their own.

If he's ex RAC Para Sqn he will be big mates with Maj Gen Andrew Cummings, who is also Colonel of the Queens Royal Lancers, and would have been at their reunion in Bovy a few weeks ago, but they disbanded in 1976
